Do you have a New Year's resolution? If so, is it any better than these people's?

Does it count if I'd like to punch Archer in the face a few times by mid-spring?

[action]

[unknownrival]

Absolutely! Please enjoy that one.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

If he keeps provoking me, I'm sure I will.

[action]

[unknownrival]

What was it this time?

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

The usual arrogance and smartmouthed comments, this time in front of Mami. If he involves her in this somehow I'll have to forgo the lance and snap his neck with my own hands.

[...Dude. Chill the fuck out, Diarmuid.]

[action]

[unknownrival]

...heh. You sounded exactly like some fathers I know when you said that.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

...I suppose I can admit the sentiment is not unlike that I would have held for my own children.

[action]

[unknownrival]

Would you rather continue talking about how much we'd like to punch Archer in the face, or help me decide - well, I suppose naming my future children is really a nonconcern.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

...We've gotten quite off the subject, Master.

[action]

[unknownrival]

It was only a conversation starter anyway.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

[Sighing, Diarmuid did what he could to shrug off his embarrassment.]

Just don't misunderstand my sentiments. She's not a replacement for my own.

[action]

[unknownrival]

I know. People that dear can never be replaced.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

...I do miss them sometimes. Perhaps I've become desperate, or some strange definition of lonely.

[action]

[unknownrival]

Who would call that desperate? Even empty nesters who can call up their children at any time miss them. To be in your position, missing them is the least expected.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

...I try not to speak of it much, but I find myself missing nearly everyone. My family most of all.

[action]

[unknownrival]

[Just take this hug, okay.]

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

Master, what--? I am not upset, so please do not assume as much.

[action]

[unknownrival]

I need that as an excuse to hug you?

Re: [action]

[croibhristeoir]

N-no, that...was merely surprising.

[action]

[unknownrival]

Well. Then I don't see what's wrong with it, unless you have a complaint.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

Of course I don't, Master.

[action]

[unknownrival]

[Snuggly hug goes here.]

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

[Hugs are nice.]

[action]

[unknownrival]

I know we can never replace anyone you've known in the past.

But at the same time, you are truly loved here and now.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

I know that, and I am without question grateful for it.
